Differences in ACA Implementation Between Two States & Implications for Consumers and Educators 2015-10-29T15:26:09-04:002015-12-01T21:04:03-05:00
<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' class='vevent'><span class='vevent'><span class='summary'><p>The implementation of the Affordable Care Act is in full
swing and we have a chance to evaluate how well it is or isn't doing in
achieving some of its goals. One thing is becoming apparent...some states
are doing a better job at helping their residents get insured, one of the main
ACA goals. Though both conservative states, the different experiences in
Kansas and Kentucky highlight how state-specific decisions about how to
implement the ACA impact who gets insured. This webinar will discuss
those differences within the context of the ACA's goals.</p>

Extension Programming Approaches for Farmers Under the Affordable Care Act 2015-11-03T15:08:16-05:002015-11-19T17:05:17-05:00
<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' class='vevent'><span class='vevent'><span class='summary'><p>The
Affordable Care Act (ACA) changed how Farmers and Ranchers might insure
themselves, their families, and their workers. What are the new options under
the act? How do operators decide whether it makes sense to participate? How can
they make informed decisions about their options? This webinar will feature
innovative approaches from three Extension professionals actively delivering
ACA-related programming for farmers and ranchers, and engage participants about
perspectives from their stakeholders. Participants will obtain a road map
of existing resources for Extension professionals to use in their
programming. </p><b>Presented
